The Four Letter Word

L-O-V-E

Why is it sometimes so hard to love people???

If you don't have love in you, then you can't give love to anyone else. You cannot give away something you don't have.

Sometimes it's hard to love yourelf... You don't feel good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, strong enough... But you wouldn't BE here if you weren't.

One of my favorite quotes from Wedding Crashers, besides all of the rules of course, is that "True Love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another." Isn't that it though? When you would do for someone any and all things you would do for yourself? When you would feel things for the person that you only feel for yourself? When you feel spiritually and uncontrollably connected to that person... A connection so strong that nothing can tear it apart. Isn't that true love?

I speak as if I am an expert... which I clearly am not. But I speak my mind, and today... and maybe just today... that's how I feel about LOVE!

Nothing in Life is more PURE than Music...

Music:

Is there anything more pure? The writer has put his/her emotions into words, then someone has been inspired to put those words to music. Then an artist comes along and puts his/her voice to that music… nothing in life is more pure. Nothing but maybe a prayer…

But aren’t songs just prayers set to music? A confession of love? A cry out for help? A praise to someone or something that has brought you joy? A celebration?

Nothing is life is more pure than music… so when you feel impure… you know where to turn…

Today – Il Divo

Their voices are silky smooth. You can’t NOT be “present” when listening to their music. When it’s playing, nothing in the world is more important. Nothing can interrupt you… it’s you, and only you, and their beautiful melodies. Close you eyes and listen to “Ti Amero”…

Just let yourself FEEL the song. Don’t THINK about what it’s saying, just listen… FEEL the words, FEEL the sounds, FEEL the emotion in their voices… Let go. Tune into yourself and your feelings about what you hear… It will change your life.
